I am posting chapters from my sister's book, "The End is near. End Time Bible Prophecy Anyone Can Understand." Available at lulu.com
Continued from previous post...
Of the United
States, Revelation 13:12 says, “He exercises all the authority of the first beast (Rome,
Catholicism)
in his presence. And he makes the earth
and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal would was
healed.” Just as the Pope and
the Catholic Church used to exercise political and religious authority over the
Western world before its deadly wound in 1798, so the United States will
exercise its political and religious authority over the Western world, uniting
with Catholicism and giving back to the Pope the power his position once
wielded.
The
Image of the Beast
When you look in a mirror
you see a reflection of yourself. It is
not you, but it looks just like you and it mirrors any movement you make.
Instead of being solely the Catholic Church with the Pope wielding
religious and political power, this image will be political powers, dominated
by the US, backing up the Ecumenical unification of religious powers
(Revelation 17:12, 13 says that the kings of the earth will give their power
and authority to the beast, so it will not be just the US political
power).
Combined, these political and
religious powers resemble, or mirror, the works and the powers of the Catholic
Church during her 1260-year reign from 538 CE to 1798 CE. So what we will see is an unholy trinity, a
joining of politics, Protestantism and Catholicism.
This unification is
already at work in what is called the Ecumenical Movement, a movement by
Christians of different denominations to overcome their differences and unite
under their commonalities. (see Appendix
1)
